[Albion] Can someone translate please?

Has Zaha's transfer request got lost amongst their 'New Stand' plans or their Annual Report. Whichever - he's not getting that move

 

[vagabond]

Have Brighton ever said they want to sell BW?

Nope. I believe the only time the club made an official comment on Ben was when they rejected the final Leeds bid last summer.. saying they had no intention of selling him.

Darren Ambrose he’s got precious for this sort of nonsense I recall.

Classic Palace

 

[maltaseagull]

Darren Ambrose, quoted saying this on TalkSport regarding Palace selling Zaha...

“For £50 million, I think they would sell him now. I really do. We have seen it with Ben White, he is overpriced at the moment. Is Ben White worth £50 or £60 million then I don’t think he is?”

I've read it numerous times, and I'm none the wiser as to what he's trying to say. Is he saying Zaha worth £50m or not?

Sorry, Don't speak Croydonese!

Put a question mark after the word 'then', and it makes some kind of sense. And clearly states that no, Zaha not worth 50m

Don't know about understanding the translation, but when TalkShite is ever mentioned, I envisage the image above

Another thread about something on talkshite, you say?

OK, I'm fairly used to having to make sense of people jabbering on, barely aware of what they are saying. Here is a translation:

If someone offered £50 million for Zaha I think Palace would take it. Like Brighton and Ben White*, Palace have made it know that the asking price for Zaha is far more than the player is worth. Ben White is not worth the £50 or£60 million that Brighton have claimed they want**, and in fact they would take far less if a low offer were made***, and the amount would be far lower than the £50 million that Palace would accept for Zaha (the implication being that Brighton and White are shit compared with Palarse and Zaha).

Some caveats:
*No we ****ing haven't. At no time have Brighton made an offocial statement about how much a bid would need to be to singn White. We have said he's not for sale.
**No we ****ing haven't. Ambrose is just making this shit up
***No we wouldn't because this is just a diarrhetic stream of old wanky bollocks. Why does anyone listen to Talkshite? Are the horoscopes good or something?

No, it means he is worth £50 million, but not more.

Previously, you mean?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I think he is saying he thinks Ben White isn't worth 50 million and if someone offered 50 million for zaha then the club would bite Their hand off and sell because zaha isn't worth anywhere near that too.
He's wrong about white of course,and in an attempt to have a pop at white and big up zaha he has managed to actually shoot both himself and zaha in the foot.

Exactly what I said, but you were more succinct

Im so hungover all the words look the same I’ve re read some of my posts today and the autocorrect nonsense makes them hilariously unreadable

Damn!

And I just realised my 'translation' is incorrect. Don't think I'll bother trying again.
